it looks like it failed to create a socket for that daemon.
heres the description of the lockd daemon....
< http://www.tac.eu.org/cgi-bin/man-cgi?rpc.lockd+8 >
     The rpc.lockd daemon provides monitored and unmonitored file and record
     locking services in an NFS environment.  To monitor the status of hosts
     requesting locks, the locking daemon typically operates in conjunction
     with rpc.statd(8).
</ http://www.tac.eu.org/cgi-bin/man-cgi?rpc.lockd+8 >

so its the network file system locking daemon that's having problems,
I doubt its anything to worry about unless you use nfs in which case some
other component will go tits up and email you or such,
if you don't know what nfs is or whether you have it, then you don't have it
and its nothing to worry about(no offense or anything you understand, but
its something you'd need to setup as far as I know so unless you
purposefully
did such its not something you'll be using in a hurry)

I think I heard some warnings about rpc's, which is part of nfs, but that
was for windows if memory serves.

hope that helps,
